PGP Implementor's survey

        The IETF OpenPGP Working Group is currently formalizing message
certificate formats used by PGP. As part of this effort, we are trying to
find out what implementations exist of various pgp-based products and
tools.

        This survey is designed to gather that information. We ask that you
take time to fill out and return this survey if you fall into one of the
following catagories:

        - You have written a pgp-based tool or an implementation of pgp
        - You are in the process of writing one of the above
        - You are planning to write one of the above

        If you are only in the planning stages (or very early in the
development stage), answer the questions as though in the future tense
"What platforms do you plan to support?", "Will it be compatible with
2.6.x?", etc.

        Please answer the following questions as completely as possible.
When completed, email back to mione(_at_)nbcs-ns(_dot_)rutgers(_dot_)edu or 
print the form,
fill it out and FAX it to Antonino Mione at +1 (732)-445-2968.

        Thanks for your help.

                                                Antonino N. Mione
